I have a question What may be even more amazing is the fact her ear-popping ascent in the world of track and field almost never happened. She is Candace Hill who set 100 m world youth record. What's confusing is "almost never happened" part. Does it mean her ascent could've never happened? Given the context, I think it's right because after that sentence, she talked about how she had a chance to run on the 4x1 since one of the regulars got injured.. So I tried making an example myself. The party almost never happened. => The party could've been cancelled somehow

I have a question. There are fewer purebred cats than there are dogs. What if I change it like this? Purebred cats are fewer than purebred dogs Is it weird? Does it change the meaning? .

I have a question Harper Lee’s 'go set a watchman' is one the most anticipated books in history and now it’s one of the fastest-selling as well. The follow-up to her classic 'to kill a mocking bird' sold more than a million copies in its first weekend in the u.s. and Canada. It’s not just the anticipation that's marked 'watchman' but also controversy . Many readers are upset Finch, the beloved father in Mockingbird is suddenly portrayed as a racist. I don't know what mark means. I looked it up in the dictionary and I think the closest definition is (If something is marked by a particular quality or feature, it is a typical or important part of that thing). But i don't think it's right..

I have a question It’s very different when you’re a private company and successful you’re making a profit than when you’re a public company having to live up to those expectations quarter after quarter. This is from some interview on the news. Is this correct sentence? I understand what it means but it's structure is weird to me. If it's correct, I hope you can give me some simpler example..

I've got a question But the people at Peachy Breeze should’ve done their research, because if they 'saw' Scotty’s older brother, they might’ve thought twice about what their Peachy Kid was going to grow up to look like./////// Peachy Breeze is an ice cream store. Scotty is a little kid who got just picked as new spokesperson of the store.(TV commercial). They've been looking for a cute kid but the speaker knows his brother is seedy-looking. Anyway, I'm confused about the tense of 'saw'. If I were him I would use 'had seen' instead from English grammer I've learned. (I just looked it up and learned it's called 'subjunctive'). Help me out please.

I have a question. I remembered Rodrick saying a person could make it all the way from our house to the top of the hill by crawling through the drainage pipe. I decided to see if Rodrick was right and believe it or not he was. It was pretty dark and nasty in that drainage pipe but 'it' was totally worth crawling through it to avoid Fregley//// Fregley is a kid that the speaker really hates. I can't figure out what 'it' refers to

I got a question In school today, they had a general assembly and showed a movie, it’s great to be me, which they show us every year.The movie is all about how you should be happy with who you are and not change anything about yourself. It's from 'diary of a wimpy kid.' I find it hard to understand 'how ' in that sentence. -- I have no idea how I did that I think 'how' in this sentence means a little different from 'how' in the previous sentence.

I've got a question.. Fore homeowners and long-term tenants, Airbnb offers the opportunity to make some money on the side. "The fact that I can use my home as a resource and that i share my home with other people is extraordinary in its effect on my daily life. I would never have thought i could've generated a decent income." I have no idea what "in its effect" is...
